NOT ALL' M'KiNLEY
Oyster Bay Pastor Spoke of
Roosevelt and Trusts.
PRESIDENT WAS NOT PLEASED
Memorial Services tor the 3Iorderel
Chief executive Held Through
out the Land Yesterday
His Hyiuiis Were Suns.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y.. Sept 14. Rev. Dr.
Henry H. Washburn, rector of Christ
Episcopal Church, in the presence of
President Roosevelt and hl3 congregation,
that filled the church to overflowing to
day, preached a sermon, in which he de
voted considerable attention to the "pos
sibility of danger coming by and through
the unguarded use of great wealth In the
liands of a few," and of which he also
stated that "if every circumstance indi
cated that one was placed providentially
in the executive chair of the Nation, then
the circumstances that attended the pro
motion of Mr. Roosevelt so indicated."
The President had requested Rev. Mr.
"Washburn to hold services in memory of
President McKlnley. The announcement
that this -would be done, and that Presi
dent Roosevelt would be present, served
to draw a large crowd to Christ Church,
"which the President attends while here.
The first part of the rector's sermon was
devoted to a eulogy upon the life and
character of the martyred McKinley, and
to this the President listened attentively.
Mr. "Washburn took occasion to speak of
the pdfeslbillty of danger coming through
certain trusts, and also to laud the Pres
ident. Mr. Roosevelt became restive. His
face colored, and he plainly showed signs
of disapproval of the rector's utterances.
At the conclusion of the sermon, he
turned to Mrs. Roosevelt and said:
"He should not have done that."
After the services, the President stated
that he had requested Mr. "Washburn to
hold memorial services, but that he had
no knowledge what the sermon contained,
nor had he any intimation that the rector
would refer to the trusts or to himself.
Mr. Washburn also stated that he had
prepared the sermon without consulting
any member of the President's family.
Mr. Washburn took for his text the
Galatlans. iv:4, which reads:
"But when the fullness of the time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of a
woman, made under the law, to redeem
them that were under the law, that he
might receive the adoption of sons."
Mr. Washburn spoke of the different
epochs of the life of the Nation, and of
the men who had risen to meet difficulties
as they presented themselves, and said:
Eulogy on SIcKlnlcy.
"The fullness of time came again, when
in 1S South Carolina seceded from the
Union and civil war drenched the land in
fraternal blood. The Civil War gave op
portunity for many to begin careers who
afterward rose to fame. Of this number
William McKinley was one."
Mr. Washburn, in words strongly eulo
gistic, traced the career of McKinley to
his death. Then he spoke of the great
progress made in all lines since the Civil
War, and continued:
"So busy have we been with the con
cerns of every day that few have realized
that we are marching on toward another
National event. How near or how remote
It may be, or what shape it will assume,
none may foresee. Mr. Lincoln and oth
ers warned the country against the dan
ger of a rising money-power. But capital
was needed for the development of trado
and natural resources, and business has
moved along such natural lines that lit
tle concern for the peace of the future
has been felt. Men of marked ability
have risen to direct and guide in every
vocation. Among all these leaders of the
last 30 years none increased in the stature
of thorough manhood more noticeably
than did Mr. McKinley. He came to the
Presidency after several years of busi
ness depression. The time required for
the exalted position a man of great ex
perience and ability, and in him was
found the need of the hour. How time
proved the wisdom of his measure! How
skilfully he steered the ship of state!
"The country had never been so pros
perous as on the day when the report of
a pistol startled the Nation and numbered
Mr. McKinley with our martyred Presi
dents. Who can read history and believe
that the course of events happened by
chance?
A David Vice-President.
"It was by no accident that Judas be
trayed the Nazarene to the cruclfler. But
who can tell why Mr. McKinley was so
suddenly taken from the earth In the
hour apparently of his greatest useful
ness? Who could fill his place? For
tunately, a David was Vice-President.
How came he to be Vice-President? Was
it by accident? How much planning and
how many mishaps did It take to create
.that accident? Many said he was too
' tfoung to be President; that youth is apt
to be impulsive; nor stayed to consider
that already in middle life, his experience
had been wide and varied. He has been
in office less than a year. How the love
of him is fllftSskrhe hearts of the people.
What one serious mistake has he made?
His honesty, his bravery, his honest con
victions, his resolute purpose, his frank
ness, his Impartiality, his independence,
his ability and willingness to look at
every side of a question, his kindness of
heart, and his domestic simplicity, com
mand the respect of every rank. The
common people hear him gladly. Only in
one thing do his friends fear he is mak
ing a mistake; that is regarding the
trusts. He had better let them have a
free hand, they say. and work out their
ends.
"But he has studied trust methods, and
is convinced that the good of all demands
that the trusts be brought under control
of the National Government. Is not this
sound judgment? Is not this a conserv
ative proposition? How can one have any
knowledge of human nature and not see
the possibility of danger coming by and
through the unguarded use of great
wealth concentrated In the hands of a
few? You hear of 'good trusts' and 'bad
trusts.' What does this mean, if not
that the unscrupulous already at the head
of certain trusts are planning methods to
cheat, rob and oppress? What course will
the generality of business men pursue
when they see wealth within reach of
their grasp? To hold that no danger may
come through great accumulations of
wealth Is to Ignore the teachings of the
Holy Scriptures. From Genesis to Rev
elations, the Bible is filled with precepts
and warnings regarding the power and
Vse of wealth. It declares that the love
of money is the root of all kinds of evil,
and It utters a prophecy that all may
Tead who will, 'Howl, ye rich men. for
the woes that are coming upon you.'
"Evidently, the President sees and is
convinced of these possibilities of danger.
There can be no backward step toward
former business methods. Shall trusts
have their own way or come under control
of the National Government? Shall trust
methods be in the hands of the few or
the many? There is certainly danger
ahead. The first utterances of the Presi
dent favoring Governmental control
brought upon him caustic crlUcism. This
shows the animus of the power he is seek
ing to control. Meanwhile, slowly, but
surely, we are marching toward a new
National event. Civilization ever pro
gresses, but great reformers have gener
ally come through the perils of fire and
sword.
"If eyer circumstances indicated that
one was placed providentially in the ex
ecutive chair of the Nation, then the cir
cumstances that attended the promotion
of Mr. Roosevelt so indicate. If worda
mean anything, this motive contemplates
the good of all. From past experiences
with him we know that he will labor to
ward that end, come what may. Every
consideration calls upon fair-minded men
throughout the country to hold up his
hands."
The services were attended by the Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt and their chil
dren. Mr. Washburn was assisted by
Rev. J. W. Hegeman. of New York, who
read a paper for the departed President.
AT ai'KIXLEY'S OLD HOME.
Eulogry by Judge Day The Widow's
Contttnnt Mourning:.
CANTON, O., Sept. 14. There was a gen
eral observance of McKinley Memorial day
in the city which called him Its own.
From almost every pulpit there was ref
erence in prayer or in address to him and
his work. His favorite hymns were sung.
The audress that attracted most attention
here was that given by Judge William R.
Day, ox-Secretary of State and a friend
and adviser of McKinley for many years.
The address was delivered in the First M.
E. Church, of which McKinley was a
member, and in which the public funeral
was held September 13, 1S6L The only
decorations were flowers and a portrait of
the late President, around which were the
folds of the Stars and Stripes, emblematic
of the patriotic spirit of McKinley.
In the Catholic Churches of the city
special mass was said and tribute also
was -paid by some of the priests to the
memory of McKinley, they having known
him personally. '
Although conscious of the fact that it
was Just one year auo that her beloved
husband died, Mrs. McKinley did not vary
the programme followed by her for several
months. All days to her huve been me
morial days. ' Her usual trip to West
Lawn cemetery was taken this forenoon
and she laid love's offering of flowers on
the casket thut contains the remains- of
the Nation's dead chief. Mrs. Garret A.
Hobart, who is her kucsI, went with her
into the McKinley tomb and also laid a
bouquet of flowtrs on the coflln. Their
subsequent drive took them to the Mc
Kinley family lot, where the 'dally bou
quets were laid by Mrs. McKlnlcy's di
rection. The afternoon and evening were
spent at the McKinley home. During the
day there were many v. tors at the Mc
Kinley vault.
Judge Day's tribute to his martyred
chief was in part as follows:
"This tragedy, which fills our hearts
with grief, has a lesson for the living and
calls upon law makers and law enforcers
for all that legislation and courts can
do for the suppression and punishment of
those who teach or practice the dreadful
tenets of this code of lawlessness and
ruin."
Judge Day referred to McKlnley' early
life; spokc of his actions through the
Spanish War and continuing sold:
"He determined 'to do all within the
range of his official duties to better the
condition of the Cuban people, to relieve
the strain upon the country and, if pos
sible, to accomplish these ends without an
appeal to arms. These purposes are tne
key to his Cuban policy, steadily pursued
with much accomplished, then the unlooked-for
happened in the treacherous an
choring of the Maine where she became
the easy prey of malicious persons bent
upon her destruction.
"William McKinley never consciously
wronged a fellow-being," said Judge Day.
"It was his rule not only to refrain from
inflicting pain, but to scatter joy where
ever he could. He would step aside from
a march of retreat to assure a weeping
mother, who loved the Union, that de
feat was but for a day and would be
turned into victory. Steadfast in his
friendship he would not swerve from
loyally for the glittering prize of the Pres
idency. Enduring the burdens which
came before, during and after the war, no
words of impatience escaped him. He
met the people with a smile of welcome
and a word of encouragement. He wouid
turn from the most important affairs of
state to clve a flower to a little child or
to say a kindly word to some visitor for
Wiiom he could do no more. Resentments
he had none. He believed life, was too
short to give any of his time to cherish
ing animosity. Sensitive to criticism, no
one ever heard him utter an unkind word
of another. He met calumny with silence
and unfair criticism with charity. His
was - the gospel of cheerfulness. His
presence was sunshine, never gloom; his
encouraging words dispelled doubt and
nerved others to their duty."
In conclusion the speaker said:
"If the youth of the country learn from
his life that the surest foundation of suc
cess la upright character and that the
path of dutv la indeed the way to glory,
then may this great life live beyond its
too-short living with praises and thanks
giving that such a character was given
to the world."
THE DAY IX NEW YORK.
All Pastors Ileferred to Dead PreKl
dent Memorial Concert.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. The first anni
versary of the death of President McKin
ley was specially observed today in a
large number of the churches of this city,
while It was referred to by the pastors
of almost all the others.
Rev. Charles L. Thompson preached at
the Fifth-Avenue Presbyterian Church.
This is the church which President Mc
Kinley attended when his visits to this
city included Sundays. In this church, as
in all-othera, the hymns "Lead, Kindly
Light" and "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
were Included in the musical programme.
The services were laudatory of the pub
lic acts and private character of the dead
executive. In the Church of Christ (Chris
tion Scientist) after the programme of
reading a special service was held, and
Governor Odell's proclamation for the
observance of the day was read. Dr.
Francis Edward Marstell, one of Mr. Mc
Klnley.'s personal friends while pastor of
a Columbus (O.) Presbyterian church,
and now pastor-elect of the Bethany Pres
byterian Church, ,of this city. Indulged In
many personal reminiscences of the Presi
dent. Fifteen thousand persons gathered
around the bandstand at the Mall In Cen
tral Park in the afternoon to listen to a
memorial concert by a regimental band.

SERVICES IX CHICAGO.
All Nationalities and Creeds United
to Pay Tribute.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14. Chicago paid an
impressive tribute to the memory of Will
lam McKinley. Throughout the city,
platforms and pulpit, public men of ah
nationalities and creeds lauded the lite
and deeds of the martyred President.
Musical services arranged especially lor
the occasion added in a great degree to
the impression made by prayer and ora
tory. The main meeting was held in the ar
ternoon at the First Methodist Church,
where the principal speaker was Bishop
Fallows, who said in part:
"The anarchy which knows no gov
ernment and destroys, rather than up
lifts, was responsible for the death of
President McKinley. We also havei an
anarchism of wealth, which is used not
for the welfare of mankind, but for its
injury and oppression. The way to sup
press anarchy is to keep in mind the
sentiments of President McKinley and
practice reciprocity at home first, and
then abroad. Let there bo reciprocity
between capital and labor and a recogni
tion of mutual rights. Let rights be
given to employes as American citizens
first. What a spectacle Is made when
in a conflict between capital and labor
men say: 'There is nothing to arbitrate.'
Such action 16 akin to lawlessness. If
we carry out McKinley's idea of Christian
reciprocity, however, all will be well."
Anions: tho other sneakers were Dr.
Joseph A. Mllburn. a brother of John
C. Mllburn. of Buffalo, at whose house
President McKinley died.

lows: "William McKinley, like George Wash

FOR THE NEEDY
(Continued from First Psgre.)
things that are sent down will be dis
tributed whore they are the most needed."
In speaking of the condition of the peo
ple of the community, he said:
"The people there are not In immediate
danger of starving, but they need help
to be able to do anything. They have no
feed for their stock. All of their hay was
burned and the grass destroyed. If thoy
do not get feed soon, their stock will die.
Their fences are all down. If they are to
do anything toward; getting ready for put
ting in their next year's crops, they will
have to have some sort of inclosures.
Many of them are left with only the
clothes that they have on their backs,
and have no money with which to buy a
change of clothing. Others. If they could
be given the means to get what they have
left In shape and enough money to get
out to the city, could find work and help
themselves. All that I am asking for now
is enough to relievo their immedate neces
sities." If many other cases like these are re
ported, there will probably be a concert
ed movement among the citizens of Port
land to answer the calls for help.
"At present," said Dr. E. P. Hill, of
the First Presbyterian Church, "it seems
to me that the matter can be handled well
enough by each church or organization
or Individual working separately and
sending the subscriptions where they
think they are needed. If there are other
cases reported, however, of this nature,
I think that a committee of citizens ought
to be appointed to take the matter in
hand. There will be no trouble in raising
money for a cause of this kind. AH it
needs Is some ono to take hold of it"
Rev. J. F. Ghormley, of the First-Christian
Church, said that he thought it
would be a good plan for a special meet
ing of the Ministerial Association to bo
called at once, and for the churches to
take up the work of relief as a body.
CLACKAMAS COUNTY LOSSES.
Every Farmer In Sprlnrvnter Rc
8Tion a Sufferer Efforts for Relief.
OREGON CITY, Sept 14.-(Speclal.)-Attorney
Harvey E. Cross has Just re
turned from Springwater, where he went
KSt,f?te tne extent of the damage
done by the fires in that section. He
says that not a single farmer escaped,
except James Guthridge, and even he
lost his fences, and his son's barn was
burned. Mr. Cross lost everything in his
place except a smokehouse. Three thou
sand prune trees wero swept away. To
morrow he will send out tents to shelter
the people living upon his ranch.
The scene in the burnt district Is al
most indescribable. Fire swept over
territory 15 miles long and from three
to four miles wide. The devastated
country forms a wedge leading from
,.VtPo,nt down Past Springwater.
with Clackamas River and Clear Creek
on either side, and stopping about one
mile above the Norton place. The flames
came down the Clackamas gorge fast
as a railroad train and the river acted
like a chimney, drawing the fire down
with wonderful swiftness. The flames
also traveled along the rail fences, none
of which remain. So swift was its ap
proach that many people had no warn
ing and on Thursday night the fearful
flames found families in their beds, and
they were forced to flee for their lives,
making no attempt to save property.
There is not a minute that one does not
hear the loud crash of a falling tree and
then -the sharp crackle of a lot of small
er trees tumbling to the earth. The
sound Is like artillery and can bo heard
for five miles. Tho roads and fields
for miles around are strewn with limbs
of trees and ashes.
Al Lacey wis the heaviest losfcr in the
district His place was the largest and
most valuable of any of those burned.
The farmers suffer much, because of the
loss of their grain and hay. Threshing
was Just over and the crops were in the
barns, nearly all of which were swept
away. The devouring flames in a few
minutes obliterated the work of a life
time. Branche Tucker, a pioneer over.
60 years of age. lost everything he pos
sessed, the result of 40 years' careful
farming, and has only the bare ground
left. People are selling their cattle and
hogs to obtain the necessaries of life.
At tho new power station, three miles
northeast of Springwater, the fire did
great ramage. Russ Wilcox, a driver for
the Oregon Water & Railway Company,
came In this afternoon and said the new
buildings were saved only by the united
effort of all the men on the place. They
formed a bucket brigade and drenched
the roofs of the buildings, but the bunk
houses and toolhouses were "destroyed.
Mr. Wilcox secured his watch from the
ruins, and the once handsome gold time
piece, is now a sorry-looking object
Julius Mcllke, who lives on the Cross
place, fought flro Thursday night until
3 o'clock Friday morning, when the
flames became so fierce that he was com
pelled to flee. While trying to find a way
out he ran across the Smith place and
found a man, 86 years of age, In the
house. Mr. Mellke rescued him with dif
ficulty, as even with death staring him
In the face the old settler scouted: dan
ger. Acts of heroism reported are not
numerous. In most cases the people were
panic-stricken, and many lost their heads
In the presence of danger.
The fires throughout Clackamas Coun
ty are now under control, and Imme
diate danger Is not threatened. From
present Indications there Is no likelihood
of the wind springing up, and rain Is ex
pected soon. The atmosphere Is still
heavy with- smoke, but the air tonight is
decidedly cool. On the west side of the
Wiljamette fire in the Tualatin wood
camp destroyed 617 cords of wood be
longing to John Townsend, and Mr. Par
ker lost about 200 cords. This fire is
now confined in about a 20-acre section.
Back-firing has been done nround it,
and there Is comparatively little danger
of its spreading.
Rev. E. S. Bollinger, pastor of the
First Congregational Church, made an
appeal for aid for the fire sufferers from
his pulpit this morning, stating that
food, clothing and money would be glad
ly received. The Willamette Rebekah
Relief Society will meet In the I. O. O. F.
Hall at 1:30 P. M. tomorrow, to devlso
ways and means for rendering speedy
aid to the homeless. The names of all
families In need will be thankfully re
ceived by the president of the society,
Mrs. Thomas F. Ryan.
Reports were received here today of
the fires which have been raging two
miles northeast of Wllholt Springs. The
people have been fighting hard, and
heavy loss is not anticipated unless the
wind should come up. Many of. the
farmers of that section were away to
the hopyard with their families when
the fires broke out, and were sent for at
once. The fire on the Jackson place,
about two rnlles south of Dickey's prai
rie, burned all around Russell Bros.'
cawmlll, which was saved only by con
stant fighting. TlTe fences on the Jack
son place and other places were con
sumed. Dickey's prairie is this side of
the North Fork of the Molalla. It will
escape serious damage.
M'INTYRE SETTLEMENT BURNED.
Owner, IU W. Parker, Says Fire Was
Started by Careless Neighbor.
R. W. Parker, whose house, store, post
office and barn, on Salmon River, were
destroyed by fire Wednesday, arrived at
his home Saturday night completely ex
hausted with his long fight with fires.
For considerably over a week he had
been guarding against the destruction of
hla property, and at the very moment
jwhen he thought his houses wero secure'
they were suddenly overwhelmed from
an unexpected source.
"For 10 days," said Mr. Parker, "I had
been engaged in burning the brush
around my buildings so that I thought
they were safe. A neighbor had been
burning slashings, and I supposed he was
done and I rested easily. Wednesday,
while I was a mile away with the wagon,
down In a field, he set fire to some brush
without letting me know of his Intentions.
In a moment the fire was running up the
trees, and the high wind carried a perfect
ebower of burning cinders right down
on to my barn and house. The Instant I
saw the buildings were threatened 1
started with the wagon as fast as the
horses could run. When I arrived at
the house and store I first took out the
mall. There was barely time for that,
for the buildings were then all on fire.
I grabbed the mall-boxes and dumped
them out into the road. I also got some
tobacco out. The gun cartridges I got
out. but not all. I tried to get a tool
chest out, but it was too heavy. When
getting these things out I could feel the
hair on my head beginning to singe.
Then it was time to leave.
"The barn contained nbout 75 tons ot
hay. A horse and a llsht wagon were
burned. Another barn containing about
20 tons of hay was saved, but It was
desperately hard work to save It We
backfired and dug trenches. There was
an old road between the barn and the
fire. We widened this, carried the brush
out of the way and threw dirt on the
logs and did everything we could, finally
saving the barn. My loss Is due to the
burning of slashings on my neighbor'
place. The forest fires did not bother me.
The hatchery had suffered no damage
when I left. It took some effort to sava
the lumber delivered for the new build
ings. "George Bell, living some distance
from me, lost his house and barn. His
two son were homo alone. The rest of
the. family are picking hops. The boys
removed the furniture from the house.
A schoolhouse surrounded by fire escaped
destruction."
Mr. Parker's lews is pretty heavy. It
will probably be above $2000. He carried
some Insurance. The buildings destroyed
comprise the old Mclntyre place. Mr.
Parker Intended to move onto the place
permanently In a short time.
FAMILY BURNED OUT.
Joseph Dollowelch and Four Chil
dren Are Homeless.
The most pathetic case caused by the
fires is that of Joseph Dollowelch, seven
miles out on the section road near KI11
gaver. He has four small children, with
tho mother In the hospital In a critical
condition. His home, before the fire,
consisted of a small box-house. He had
a barn filled with fjve tons of hay for
his horses and cow. The fire destroyed
everything but his house. His barn, with
feed he had provided for the Winter, was
destroyed. This, to him. I? a more se
rious loss than the destruction of his
house would have been.
The fire surrounded his place Thursday,
and Dollowelch worked constantly until
Friday and managed to save the house.
It Is considered probable that this man,
with his four helpless children, may
need some assistance. He seems a hard
working man.
School Principal's Loss In Fire.
When Professor Charles F. Anderson,
the principal of the school at Palmer,
went to the scene of his expected activity
Friday, he found that the schoolhouse,
together with the greater part of the
town, had been consumed by the fire, and
that no more school could be held until
the town was rebuilt Unfortunately, he
bad sent his personal effects to Palmer to
await his coming, and these were entire
ly consumed. All of his library, many of
his valuable papers, Including his collego
diplomas, and much of his clothing were
destroyed. The people of Palmer endeav
ored to save much of their property by
burying It, but the Intense heat frustrated
their efforts, and much that they hoped
to save was lost In this way.

PROGRESS OF THE NAVIES
Captain Slgsbeos Report on Observ
ances of I'nst Year.
WASHINGTON, Sept 14. A splendid
resume of what has been accomplished by
forelgn navies In the last fiscal year is
to be found in "Notes on Naval Progress,"
made public today by Captain Charles D.
SIgsbee, Chief of the Naval Intelligence
Bureau. It says in part:
"The construction of ships for the fleets
of the leading powers has gone on actively
during the past year and the new esti
mates show either an adherence to a well
defined programme for a steady Increase,
or a desire to make such addition as the
present financial condition of the various
countries warrants. While there has been
no marked change in the design or ships,
the tendency has been towards greater dis
placement In battle-ships and armored
cruisers, better protection and the massing"
of guns of the second calibre In a central
citadel instead of separating them in case
ments." It is declared that there is urgent need
for quick-firing high-power guns, well pro
tected by armor of the highest resisting
power, and Cervera's Ill-starred rush out
of Suntlago harbor is cited as a tragic
Illustration of the poorly protected gun
positions.
Renewed interest in good shooting was
displayed In the. British Navy the past
year. Admirable records have been made
by the Terrible and Banfleur In China,
while In the Mediterranean other ships
have accomplished excellent results. Prac
aice is now carried on at ranges never be
fore considered for real fighting, 5000 and
7000 yards.
Recent experiments with capped armor
plerclng projectiles, it Is stated, have dem
onstrated the value of the cap as an aid
to penetration of armor plates.
Experiments have been made in the
German Navy with a device intended to
enlarge the area of action. The device
Is fitted" on the Gyroscopic steering gear
and makes the torpedo run a straight
coarsa for a thousand meters and then
dart out on a spiral or zig-zag course,
the general direction of which is at right
angles to the original flight. The idea is
ingenious. A squad of the enemy's war
vessels is advancing abreast. The tor
pedo is -aimed at the end vessel on the left.
If It misses its target it then goes flying
in and out between the vessels of the en
tire squadron with good prospects of leav
ing its terrible marka. The reports In re
gard to the utility of the device, it is
stated, are conflicting.
The question of triple screws continues
to be agitated, and though the great
weight of naval opinion seems to be
against their use, the principle Is galnlng
advocates, particularly In France, where
most of the new large vessels are three
screw aid In the German Navy, where
they have been tried with distinct suc
cess, the battle-ship Kaiser Wilhelm II,
a rlplc-scr.w v ssel, being mentioned.
Much attention has also been paid dur
ing the past year to the subject of liquid
fuel firing for marine boilers, owing to tho
recent great discoveries of oil In Texas.
California. Japan and Canada, and the ex
ploitation of the Borneo and Russian
fields. Russia remains the leading ex
ponent of liquid fuel and has exclualvely
adopted oil firing for her Caspian fleet, and
partially for her. Black Sea fleet. France,
Italy, Germany, Holland, Sweden and
Great Britian all have been making thor
ough experiments in tills direction.
The engineering officers of all navies.
It Is said, are walchins: with keen Inter
est for a. decision by the British Navy on
a permanent type of water tube boiler.
The British Admiralty had ordered a
general installation of water-tube boilers
in her large lighting craft with a view to
learning "the proper generator of energy
for the vital units of the fleet those upon
which the fate of the nation depends pri
marily, the !arge battle-ships and armored
cruisers and 'commerce destroyers,' that
all navies are laying down."
A great future for electricity on board
of war-ships Is becoming more and more
assured. It is tatcd, "and its adoption is
opening up numberless possibilities, chief
among the latter being the great mili
tary advantage which would be gained by
actually directing from the bridge of the
conning tower the propellers of a ship.
"The material progress of the year In
wireless telegraphy may be said to be
in the matter of length of transmission,
in. which wonderful advancement has been
made.'' But it is pointed out that much
less progress was made towards securing
Immunity of messages from interception,
a condition stated to be more Important
for naval purposes than the length of
transmission. Summing up the status of
wlrele&s telegraphy today, it is said that
it is still Imperfect, offers many obstacles
to success, is complex, costly and delicate
and continues to be uncertain In trans
mission. Yet. in spite of the disadvant
ages, it is stated, wireless? telegraphy
offers so much in Its maritime field that
It is being vigorously taken up everywhere.
At the date of Issue, there were more than
220 men-of-war and merchant vessels
with wireless installations as well as
numerous coast stations. Special progress
was made during the year in Great Brit
ain. Germany, France, Russia, Austria,
Denmark, Japan and Spain.
STARTED CRIPPLE CREEK
Made Millions by Thnt Discovery;
Died Yesterday.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Coio., Sept 11.
William S. Stratton, the multimillionaire
of this city, owner of the famous Inde
pendence mine, in the Cripple Creek dis
trict, died at his home In this city at 9:35
o'clock tonight, after an illness of sev
eral months. He had been in a critical
condition for several weeks, and hhr death
was expected at any time today. He had
been unconscious throughout the day, and
the relatives, including a sister, Mrs. Jen
nie Cobb, of San Jose. Cal., the only near
relative who survives Mr. Stratton, did
not leave his bedside at any time.
Mr. Stratton was born in Jeffersonvllle,
Ind., July 22, 184S. He was educated in
the schools of that city, and at the age
of 17 took up the carpenter and draughts
man's trade, which he mastered. He ha3
resided in Colorado Springs for 30 -years,
having come here in 1S72. During all this
time he has been more or les3 interested in
mining, being a prospector In various
camps of Colorado as long as 15 years
before he opened the famous Independenco
bonanza.
In April, 1S91, having seen some speci
mens of gold ore from the Cripple Creek
district that Impressed him favosabjy, ho
went to that camp to prospect. On the
3d of July, after weeks of fruitless pros
pecting, a man who agreed to grubstake
him having disappointed him. Stratton de
cided to go to Cripple Creek and stake
out a claim on his own account He rode
the 35 miles from this city to the camp on
horseback, and on the morning of tho
4th of July, 1S91, staked out the In
dependence and Washington claims. In
honor of the day and the Father of his
Country. The Independence gave original
assays of $3S0 to the ton. and In 1S92 ho
leased and bonded the Washington for
$80,000. The Independence yielded Stratton
millions, and in 1S38 was sold by him for
$10,000,000, he retaining, however, a very
considerable interest, even after receiving
the sum of money.
He was a man whoso private charities
were boundless, and his interest in the
public welfare was without limit He was
the owner of the Colorado Springs street
railway system, on which he had spent
$1,500,000 In the past two years. His wealth
is estimated at $15,000,000 to $50,000,000.
